About this worksheet

Sort developments as change or continuity. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can sort a development as change or continuity and give a one-line reason.
  • I can see a change and a continuity in the same development (Gutenberg's new type, old press and bound book), and work with the growth in printed copies.
  • I can explain zero as a placeholder, and find what changed and what carried on in Maya counting and Inca roads.

Standard: D2.His.2.6-8

Common mistakes

Your child swapped change and continuity. Change means something became different; continuity means it stayed the same.

Your child thought something new wiped out the old at once. New things often arrive while old ones carry on.

Your child chose something the strip does not say. Read the card again.
